Why the fuck is Leury playing?

Missed the cutoff man.

He almost overran it.

Love the home pinstripes. Hopefully they wear them a bit more this year.

Day game after a night game is probably the reason for Grandal sitting as he will catch tomorrow. If Leuri is awful defensively what do you call what Mendick did in the preseason games? Delmonico probably sucks but had a nice spring and seemed to be hitting well when they came back so probably a better chance vs a righty than Engel. Also, if Giolito can't throw to Grandal the signing was the worst in team history. Lucas was just missing his spots yesterday. It had nothing to do with the catcher just be happy he was the 95 mph Giolito and not the 91 mph version we saw before last season. He had a bad night and will be fine. With this unusual season, we are going to get a lot of that. Nothing will be normal. Just think 8f this happened last year and there were only 60 games, there is a decent chance Nelson Cruz is out of baseball. I also the the Sox had a better record last season after 60 than the eventual WS champs even though the importance of each game is tripled, taking too much out of one is not wise.

I am pretty sure the Sox would have still lost had Leury been perfect in the field last night. But new year, new punching bag. Get a win today and maybe get on a roll.

DFA'd. We will see. I am not sure if he would have to accept the outright or not. I do think he is a guy that can be turned around a bit if someone can help him throw strikes. Whether that person exists and is employed by a major league baseball team is a good question.

Yes its on their twitter. I can't copy.

Wow. Mercedes sent to Schaumburg.

You really think Leury Garcia instead of Nick Madrigal for 5 games costs the White Sox the playoffs?

Yes. As much as Engel is a good fielder, there is something about Adam Engel being in the line up that says the rebuild is not over.

It's 5 days.

Don't they get an extra year control if they keep Madrigal out for something like 5 days? That's a no brainer. I hope Nick enjoys Schaumburg. I like him more than most, but he really has no argument about being sent down for a bit. He certainly doesn't have the Kris Bryant argument where he dominated AAA for almost a full season then destroyed everyone in Spring Training, and then lost a greivance. Madrigal's pre season stats were nothing. He doesn't have much time above A ball. Get the extra year.

Mazara has to have the virus doesn't he? Renteria said he wasn't feeling well, so not injured, and then the injured list?

So Melky and Beckham are available. Yes.

Preseason cancelled. training camp roster sizes reduced. Just kicking the can down the road for the bigger decisions. No way they play 16 this year.

this thread will be locked and you will be banned in a few minutes, but I do find your whole premise ironic when you seem to suggest asking women questions is creepy.

The first couple of years, I thought these guys were a train wreck. It seemed like everything had to be some sort of joke, and while some are funny, when you have 100 duds, it's hard to remember the funny. I thought once Jason had the job full time, it got much better. I don't have a problem with the telecast at all. I think it's really good. I do think they should switch our Chuck with Leila Rehimi. Our Chuck seems more like a pre and post guy. Leila knows her shit. I think she should be the field reporter when we get back to somewhat normal.

Kansas added to Chicago travel ban. Stay away, Greg.

I am just as excited about Vaughn as I am Eloy. Maybe even more. The White Sox haven’t brought up a power hitter with this guys knowledge of the strike zone since at least Maggs. Maybe the Big Hurt.

No Mazara again. I hope he doesn’t have the virus.

I actually do think Ozzie has matured a bit. But what he is doing right now, angling for an already filled role with the White Sox, is off the charts obnoxious. Sorry Ozzie, you quit because you were "disrespected" not having multiple years left on your contract. You also said it was a slap in the face when the organization "only" offered your son $75,000 to play baseball. Last I checked, that was $75k more than any other major league franchise. Let him to the pre and post game. Live off 2005. Nothing wrong with that. Ditka still lives off of 1985. But if he wants back in baseball, with the White Sox would be a huge mistake. Managing or coaching should be with a different organization.

Wear a mask. What the hell do you have to lose?

He also is sticking with it will just go away. Eventually I will be right. It's like someone hitting on 19 at a blackjack table. You do it enough, eventually you may be "right" no matter how wrong you have been.

Supposedly Birx told Trump in April the virus was going away. So, start trashing Fauci.
